So, we are encouraging you to keep your hands to support us for creating mangrove forest for the following benefits;

• Mangroves will provide a protective barrier for the community and their homes, which are often situated close to the shoreline and near the embankment.
  • Lots of livelihoods opportunities (mangrove nursery, bee keeping, pickle making, Nipa Molasses) will be created in rely with the afforested mangroves.
  • People will get lot of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) like nipa palm, Kewra fruit, fish, crab etc. As lots of livelihoods opportunities will be introduced, local people’s income will be increased.
  • Mangroves root system will stabilize the coastline by reducing erosion caused by storm surges, currents, waves and tides.
  • Mangroves provide nursery habitat for many commercial fish and shellfish, and thus contribute to the local abundance of seafood.
  • Biodiversity will be enriched as mangroves provide shelter to a range of wildlife species including birds, deer, honey bees, monkey etc.
  • Mangroves serve as nesting areas for coastal birds. Many birds depend on mangroves for part
• of their seasonal migrations. Even dead mangroves play an important role, providing roosting
• areas for bird species.
  • More carbon will be sequestered in the end.
